Why does it always rain........
« on: September 12, 2015, 10:50:54 AM »
........when I take the bike in for it's MOT, it happens every year even when I took it on the road for the first time after a 2 year rebuild, and it's raining again today and I''be taking it in at 11:30, I don't mind riding in the rain I just don't like cleaning bikes.

Cheers

I know that feeling - my bikes have to be clean and its a big job to get in all the nooks and crannies.  Back when I used my bikes daily, I used to wash then at the end of every day! A bit time consuming but you are what you are and had to do it!!!
Good luck with MOT

I have an arrangement with my MOT guy when taking the old bikes, he books me in and says I will see you if it's not raining, he's very good like that, it helps that he is a classic bike enthusiast too and rides a mint 1975 Kwak Z900.
